Best Answer

Through the impeachment process.

The President must first be impeached by the House of Representatives. The House Judicial committee appoints a special prosecutor who presents the case to the members of the House. If the House votes by a simple majority to impeach, it is sent to the Senate for trial.

The Senate selects a panel with a prosecutor and puts the President on trial. After the trial the Senate votes. If a 2/3 majority find him guilty, he is removed from office.
